Celebrating a Decade
To celebrate this 10-year milestone, we’ve hidden 10 Golden Tickets inside our calendars. Each ticket holder and a guest will be invited to a private VIP chocolate-making experience behind the scenes at 7 Hill St. in 2027.
Introducing the 10th Anniversary Advent Calendar
To mark a decade of craft, passion, and fine chocolate, Hill St. is releasing a bespoke Advent Calendar illustrated by Sarah Smart Draws.
This collector’s piece offers an intricate peek inside 7 Hill St., bringing the craft to life, from the ground-floor shop to the Bean to Bar production stage (roasting, winnowing, grinding, refining, and conching) up to the Tempering Workshop. Set against a snowy winter scene with fireworks overhead, it captures the spirit, creativity, and dedication that built Hill St. over the past ten years.
Our Story: 10 Years of Hill St.
Est. 2016 – The Foundation at 7 Hill St.
It all began in 2016 when we opened the doors to our home at 7 Hill St. Driven by a devotion to artisan chocolate making, our mission was simple: bring exceptional, handcrafted chocolate to our community using uncompromised techniques and the finest ingredients.
Mastering Bean to Bar
As our passion evolved, so did our craft. We expanded our in-house capabilities to handle every stage of the chocolate-making journey under one roof, carefully sourcing raw cacao beans to oversee roasting, winnowing, grinding, refining, and conching directly.
The Tempering Workshop & Craft Expansion
Growth allowed us to build our dedicated Tempering Workshop, creating a specialized space for our chocolatiers to experiment with complex flavour profiles, refine master techniques, and handcraft small batches with exact precision.
Celebrating a Decade
Ten years on, we remain grounded in the same values that started it all at 7 Hill St. This limited-edition Advent Calendar, and the 10 Golden Tickets hidden within, is our tribute to our journey, our team, and everyone who has shared a piece of Hill St. over the last decade.
